Introduction

In introducing the document's usually described, and a brief explanation or summary thereof is
given. A reader to read the introduction should be able to get an idea about the content of the
text before reading itself. (4 to 10 lines).

Questions: (write with your own words)

1. What do you understand by transmission line? Mention some types.


Answer: Transmission lines is defined as the path of carrying alternating electrical from
source to load. Example: the wire used between TV antenna and television set or the
wire used between transmitter antenna and transmitter are known as transmission
lines.
Unlike a conventional low-frequency circuit, the voltages and currents on a transmission
line vary with longitudinal position because they experience a phase delay as the wave
propagates from one end of the line to the other.
Some types are:
 Co-axial line
 Fiber Optic
 MicroStrip Line
 Parallel Wires Above a Ground Plane

2. What is a bounded transmission line?


The guided media is also called wired communication or bounded transmission media,
guided media uses a physical path or conductor to transmit the signals. Categories of
guided media are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and optical fibre.
3. Define the following electrical parameters of transmission lines:
a. Input impedance 𝑍𝑖𝑛 .

Impedance of a transmission line is the relationship between the difference in


potential applied and the current absorbed by the line in the hypothetical case that it
has an infinite length, or when still being finite and there are no reflections.
b. Stationary wave ratio 𝑉𝑆𝑊𝑅.

The parameter VSWR is a measure that numerically describes how well the
antenna is impedance matched to the radio or transmission line it is
connected to. VSWR stands for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio, and is also
referred to as Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). VSWR is a function of the
reflection coefficient, which describes the power reflected from the antenna.

c. Physical length 𝐿 and electrical length 𝓁.


An electrical length is a length refered to the wavelength. For example your
frequency is 100MHz therefore your free wavelength is 3 meters. Mostly the
transmission line is built from dielectric material which causes the wavelength to
be shorter.
The physical length is the length of the medium from the beginning until the
end of the transmission line.
4. What is the purpose of Smith's Letter in the study of the propagation of waves?

Application exercises:

1. A coaxial line has the following characteristics:


Geometric parameters: 𝑎 = 0.35𝑚𝑚 𝑏 = 30𝑚𝑚 𝑡 = (22 + 10)𝜇𝑚
Conductor properties: (conductivity) 𝜎𝑐 = 5.8𝑥107 𝑆𝑚/𝑚
Properties of the insulator: 𝜎𝑑 = 1𝑥10−16 𝑆𝑚/𝑚 𝜖𝑟 = 2.25 𝜇𝑟 = 1
Applied signal frequency: 𝑓 = 106 𝐾𝐻𝑧.

a. Calculate the electrical parameters R L C G.

b. Using the distributed model, calculate the propagation parameters


𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑍0 .

c. Calculate the propagation velocity 𝑉𝑝 , the wavelength 𝜆 and the attenuation


𝛼𝑑𝐵/𝐾𝑚 .
…

Conclusions

Conclusion 1:

Conclusion 2:

The conclusions should be written with their own words and should focus on the
concepts explored, learned, discovered and practiced in the development of the activity,
it is suggested to present a conclusion by topic, the result of learning obtained as
evidence of conceptual assimilation.

To obtain a good writing it is suggested to read the written several times, correcting
and adjusting the text until obtaining a clear and coherent postulate. Avoid superficiality
and simplicity.
